About COST
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a pan-European intergovernmental
framework. Its mission is to enable breakthrough scientific and technological developments leading to
new concepts and products and thereby contribute to strengthening Europe’s research and innovation
capacities.
It allows researchers, engineers and scholars to jointly develop their own ideas and take new initiatives
across all fields of science and technology, while promoting multi- and interdisciplinary approaches.
COST aims at fostering a better integration of less research-intensive countries to the knowledge hubs
of the European Research Area. The COST Association, an International not-for profit Association
under Belgian Law, integrates all management, governing and administrative functions necessary for
the operation of the framework. The COST Association has currently 36 Member Countries.

About the University of Žilina
The history of the University of Žilina (UNIZA) began on 1 September 1953 when the University of
Railway Transport was founded by separating from the Czech Technical University in Prague. It
gradually became an important pillar of education in the fields of transport, which resulted in the change
of the name to the University of Transport. It was moved to Žilina in 1960 where it underwent many
transformations, and in 1980 it was renamed again to the University of Transport and Communications.
Later in 1996, after broadening its fields of interest and other organisational changes, it was renamed
the University of Žilina.
At present there are about 9,000 students being educated at seven faculties in 231 accredited fields of
study in all forms and degrees of university studies at the University. In its over 60 years of successful
existence it has become the alma mater for more than 70,000 graduates, highly skilled professionals
specialising mostly in transport and technical fields as well as in management, marketing or humanities.
In 2014, the University of Žilina was awarded with an ERA Chair project in order to unlock and
strengthen the research potential and promote UNIZA’s excellence as well as its region in the field of
Intelligent Transport Systems.
The ERAdiate project is supported by the European Commission under FP7 Grant Agreement 621386
(http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/185731_en.html).

About ERTICO
ERTICO-ITS Europe is a multi-sector, public/private partnership pursuing the development and
deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems and Services (ITS). It connects public authorities, industry
players, infrastructure operators, users, national ITS associations and other organisations together and
work to bring “Intelligence into Mobility”.
The ERTICO work programme focuses on initiatives to improve transport safety, security and network
efficiency whilst taking into account measures to reduce environmental impact. Its vision is of a future
transport system working towards zero accidents, zero delays and fully informed people, where services
are affordable and seamless, the environment is protected, privacy is respected and security is
provided.
